Activate Your Computer

Activating your computer with Zee Drive is a one-time operation. After activation, Zee Drive will start-up automatically each time you sign in to your computer.

Activation may not be necessary if your organisation has already pre-activated your device. So skip this section and don't proceed with the steps below, unless your Zee Drive administrator has requested you to do so.

To activate your computer you will need 3 things from your Zee Drive administrator:

  1. Your Zee Drive/Microsoft 365 username

  2. Your Zee Drive activation code

  3. A link to download Zee Drive to your computer. If you haven't been provided a link, you can download the latest version from here

After you have downloaded Zee Drive to your computer continue with these steps to activate it:

1

Locate Zee Drive executable you have downloaded and double click zeedrive.exe to launch the wizard. Click the Next button

2

Enter your Zee Drive/Microsoft 365 username and activation code, then click the Verify button. If your username and activation code are correct, you will see the green check mark. Click the Next button to continue

3

If you need to authenticate with Microsoft 365 then the screen will show below. If your organisation users single sign-on or your computer is Entra ID joined then you won't need to authenticate. To authenticate, click the blue "authenticate with Office 365" link. A dialog will pop-up for your to authenticate with Microsoft 365

4

After successful authentication, you will see green check mark. Click the Next button to proceed

5

Zee Drive is now ready to activate. Click the Activate button. After successful activation, Zee Drive will start-up automatically and map the network drives your organisation has configured

6

Click the Exit button to close the wizard

7

After successful activation, you will find the blue Zee Drive "Z" icon in your Windows system tray. Click the Z icon to check your subscription status

8

You will see a message like this if Zee Drive has activated and started up successfully. Click the X button in the top right of the window to close it

9

If you now open Windows File Explorer, you should find the network drives available that your organisation has configured for you. In the example below, two drives have been mapped by my organisation where I can find my files. The drives you see will be dependent upon your particular organisation
